    Have you tried a local auction house for the pottery? I've seen Cornish pottery (not that old) making silly money.
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    Yes, sell them, I would. Can't you clean the shoes so they look new again? I would rather have money rather than possessions at the moment, my peace of mind is more important.

    When I am debt free I am going to fall asleep every night with a beautific smile on my face, and will I ever want to spend unnecessary money again?

    I don't know the answer to that, but I think not!
